1️⃣ 📊💸 Microsoft Fabric for Python Data Developers — Barry Smart¶

Fabric is a major new development from Microsoft where Python is treated as a first class citizen. This talk will provide an overview of Microsoft Fabric through the lens of a Python Data developer, with demos showing how Python can be used to build cloud native, enterprise grade data pipelines on the platform.

It will also touch on concepts such as lakehouse, data mesh, medallion architecture and star schemas - all fundamental building blocks of a modern cloud native data architecture.

2️⃣ 🛠️🌐 Desert Island Docker: Python Edition - Andrew Collier¶

What 3 Docker images would you choose if you were shipwrecked on a desert island? Choosing the right images will determine whether you are rescued or end up in a cannibals' cooking pot (Python images will make you particularly unpalatable).

Docker is an essential tool for survival as a Python developer, regardless of whether you are stranded or not. In this talk I'll describe three Python Docker images that I consider essential for survival on a desert island. I'll demonstrate how to set up and build a custom image. And finally I'll demonstrate how using a Docker image can simplify CI/CD and deployment.
